oregano (shredded)

Oregano (also known by the botanical name Origanum vulgare or the German name echt Dost) is a plant species of the genus Dost and from the family Lamiaceae. Oregano is an aromatic herb that is characterized by small, green leaves and its delicate, pink or purple flowers. The oregano plant exudes an intense aroma. Oregano is an indispensable spice in many cuisines around the world. Oregano grows best in sunny locations on well-drained soil. Oregano can be grown in the garden as well as in pots on the balcony or windowsill. The leaves of the oregano are harvested during the flowering period and can then be dried.
The origin of the oregano plant and the use of oregano dates back to ancient Greece and Rome. The herb was considered a symbol of happiness and joy in ancient times.
The taste of the Italian classic oregano can be described as peppery with a hint of lemon. Dried leaves are much more aromatic and flavorful than fresh ones and have a much longer shelf life. The shredded form makes it easier to dose the oregano.

Use of Oregano
